Vitamins and Minerals

• Cranberry juice is an excellent natural source of several vitamins and minerals vital to maintaining overall health--among them, calcium, potassium, folic acid and vitamin C. These vitamins and minerals in particular promote stronger immune systems and a faster ability to heal from illness and wounds.
  
  

Antioxidants

• Natural cranberry juice (not artificially flavored) is full of antioxidants that help offset the effects of infection-causing bacteria and free radicals on the body's organ systems. On a smaller yet equally important scale, antioxidants can also help guard against the premature breakdown of the body's cells.
  
  

Urinary Tract Infections

• Drinking cranberry juice is a popular, effective and affordable method of resolving and even preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. This is due to a molecule in the cranberry called NDM (non-dialyzable molecule.) This molecule is the main factor behind the ability of cranberries and cranberry juice to block and destroy infection-causing bacteria in women's bladders.
  
  

Heart Health

• Because cranberries are so rich in antioxidants, drinking cranberry juice has a positive effect on the heart in both the short and long term. Drinking cranberry juice daily can help lower cholesterol levels, which significantly reduces your chance of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues as the heart ages.
  
  

Oral Health

• Although there are myriad types of bacteria both good and bad, a similar type of bacteria to that which causes urinary tract infections is one of the culprits behind painful, tooth-decaying cavities. Likewise, the same benefits you experience from drinking cranberry juice to heal UTIs can apply to helping prevent cavities. It should be noted that cranberry juice by itself should not be used as a means of preventing cavities; good oral hygiene (including regular dentist visits) is paramount to maintaining a healthy mouth.
